Hello,

My name is Ahmed Abu Rokbu, a 28_year_old civilian with my brother muhammed trying to get our civilian family out of the war and rebuild there lives.

After the devastating attack on our neighborhood in Sheikh Radwan, I unfortunately lost my father, and we lost our store, our land, and our source of livelihood. You have ruined our lives. This horrific tragedy forced us to use the remaining money from my father's store, which he had been building tirelessly since my childhood, to buy basic needs such as food. I spoke to my mother, and he told me sadly that the money had disappeared and he was starving and unable to provide the basic necessities of life.

My family has been displaced, forced to find shelter wherever they can after losing everything. Despite the immense challenges, I'm doing my best to support them.

My goal is to help the rest of our family – my mom, four sisters, and grandmother move to Egypt and , as many of you now know, anyone attempting to leave Gaza that does not hold a foreign passport is being asked to pay between $5,000-$7,000 dollars per person to cross the Egyptian border. The goal is to relocate our remaining immediate family first which consists of seven family members. Any additional funds will be used to relocate our extended family members which consists of over 20 people. And Securing them and make sure that our elders with chronic illnesses have access to the best medical care.

Every bit of your invaluable support and prayers means the world to us. Your kindness is a flicker of light in our darkest moments, helping us hold onto hope , Any amount you can give will change their lives—it will save them. Saving the remaining family we have left would mean more to us than words could even describe. If you cannot contribute I simply ask that you share their story in the hopes that it reaches enough people to save them. I promise you, every dollar will be used only to get people fighting for their lives out of the Gaza Strip.

I created this link to support my family. I am asking for your help out of shame and frustration, but now the situation has worsened and become frightening.

I'm humbly ask for your help. Your support can make a huge difference to me and my family.

Your support could save someone's life

With your support, I won't lose anyone else in my family.

With hope, thank you

Ahmed
